Combine ricotta cheese and honey to make the perfect sweet whipped ricotta recipe

I love ricotta cheese, but sometimes I don’t love the texture. Luckily, you can easily make a whipped ricotta dip by mixing it vigorously in a food processor.

Mix a little bit of honey and salt into the ricotta and you have the perfect sweet whipped ricotta dip. You can flavor the dip with a bit or lemon or orange zest or leave it plain.

Ways to serve this sweet whipped ricotta

There are so many ways to serve this sweet whipped ricotta recipe. My favorite way is to spread it over toast.

Use whole milk ricotta to make a creamier whipped ricotta

At many stores you will find both low fat ricotta and whole milk ricotta. It is important to choose whole milk or full fat ricotta for this dip to make sure it is thick and creamy. Using a low fat ricotta will result in a thinner dip.
